RockShox Vivid C1 Rear Shock

The Vivid C1 is designed specifically for gravity-fed riding, including aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill racing. It excels on technical terrain where you need a balance of small-bump sensitivity and high-speed support.

The Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out acts as a secondary damping circuit that engages in the final 20% of the shock's travel. It allows you to tune how much resistance you feel on harsh landings or big hits, preventing harsh bottom-outs without needing to change your air spring setup.

Yes, the shock includes a 2-position threshold lever that toggles between open and firm settings. While it isn't a full lockout, it significantly firms up the shock to reduce pedal bob and improve efficiency on long climbs or fire road transitions.

The TouchDown RC2T damper is position-sensitive, meaning it provides a supple, coil-like feel at the start of the stroke for traction, while becoming more supportive and stable as you move deeper into the travel. This helps the bike track better through chatter while staying composed on bigger hits.

No, this specific model has a 230x62.5 mm eye-to-eye measurement. You must verify that your frame's shock mount dimensions and stroke length match these specifications before purchasing.

Like most high-performance rear shocks, the Vivid C1 is designed to be serviced, but it does require specific RockShox service kits and tools to perform air can maintenance or damper service correctly. If you are not comfortable with suspension service, it is best to have a qualified mechanic handle it.
